IT’S OKAY TO NOT BE OKAY.

Travelling Tradies fosters an honest space that helps people connect and escape the stresses and anxieties bought on by work. This is done through our pub meet-ups, online community and working holidays.

The suicide rate for men in our industry is roughly double the rest of the male working population. Similarly, a 2014 PriceWaterhouseCoopers report found one in four construction workers had experienced mental illness over a 12 month period.

Our platform exists to remove the mental illness stigma on site and help reduce these statistics.

“I was earning good money, but could never seem to fill the void inside myself. Always searching for something more I suffered severe depression and after 2 fellow tradies on job sites I was working on took their own lives in the space of a week. I spontaneously booked a one-way ticket to South America where I disappeared for nearly 3 years.”- Adam Valastro, Founder + Tradie
